You know what I watched yesterday? Vertigo.
I watched it in two installments, before and after work, on the treadmill both times so I can safely say it's the most I've sweated watching a film since porn became more readily available and therefore slightly less exciting.

I am gobsmacked that I've never seen this absolute classic of cinema before. It's jumped straight into my top ten films. Probably about number 5 or 6, I think. Fascinating, eh.

Which highly revered movies are you ashamed to say you've never seen?

Alt Q - ever beaten someone up? Didn't think so. But, for those of you claiming you have, was it justified? I once broke a man's nose for calling my then-girlfriend a donkey. Not to her face.

I've never seen any of the Rocky films, or any of the Godfather films
I started watching Scarface, but stopped watching halfway through due to constant distraction ruining it for me.

Alt Q: I've taken a few people off their feet at gigs, but I'd say I've only ever really injured one person, that was due to me kneeing him in the face while running. He fucking deserved it, although I wasn't aiming to do that.

I was at a gig, and decided to take a break from being 'in the pit', as they say
So was stood on the edge, simply enjoying the music. A few seconds later later I got pushed in, so went round again, and came back to where I was, indicating to the lads who'd pushed me that I had no wish to go in again.

About 30 seconds later, I'm pushed in again, so I go round again, and head back to where I'd been, and tell the lads that again, I don't want to go in. I'd barely been there before I'm punched in the back of the head, and spin to see the 3 lads giving me dirty looks, asking what I'm going to do about it, the usual shit. I'd expect this in a pub, but not at a gig.

The next song starts, and after a little while, I feel the pressure moving off my back, meaning they're about to push me in again, so I wait a moment, and sidestep, seeing one of them go flying into the middle of the ruckus. At this point, I decide I do want to go in again, and join in.

A little while later, I'm on my way round to where this lad is on his hands and kness, after stumbling. I was aiming to give him a kick in the side, but he saw me coming, and attempted to move. This simply meant that rather than my foot hitting his side, my knee connected rather solidly with the side of his face. He went down like a sack of shit.

Never seen any of the Godfather films either
or most 'classic' films, eg, The Great Escape.

I once nicked and read the diary of someone who was stalking me, which, understandably, upon reading made me go a tiny bit mental and try to kill him, but my friends pulled me away before I got more than a couple of punches in.

Given that Berk's behaviour is perfectly understandable,
you only have anything to fear if you're a stalker.

I had a stalker once
Sort of. I say "sort of" because she was worryingly keen for about a fortnight then just disappeared - insufficient endurance to be deemed a true stalker.

It's not as validating as I'd hoped, though. More creepy as hell.

I was 16 at the time
And thus for several reasons not exactly as balanced as I am now. Given that the diary was full of rape fantasies featuring me, I think I was entitled to go just a tiny bit mad, don't you? Also this is the same cunt whom, whilst I was asleep on his sofa, started wanking over me. This plus some other dodgy behaviour led to the stealing of the diary. Can you really blame me? Also, what darth says :P

Pretty much any 'classic' black and white film I haven't seen
Apart from 'A streetcar named desire', which was alright I guess. Although I'm not ashamed of not having seen them, just can't be bothered to.

Alt: My punches are deadly, therefore I have to be very responsible over who I hit.

Please don't take this as criticism in any way, good for you if not.

I forgot to tell you - we couldn't get weekend tickets for Matilda so are seeing it tomorrow! We won't have a lot of spare time in Stratford apart from Friday morning when I'm guessing you'll be at work. Sorry mate
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 9:04, Reply)

I have actually
Once at school where I didn't fare to well, though in all honesty being held down and kicked/spat on is hardly considered Queensbury rules. Also once at uni, when a scally punched me twice in the head before trying to mug me.

My alt answer was referencing the time I punched a housemate's cat (not hard), and later on it died of cancer.

Good man
Ms Foxtrot decided late last year that she wants to go to Argentina, so that's what we're doing after InFest. It's her 30th in early September so I'm reluctantly acquiescing. It'll be AWFUL to learn Argentine Tango in Buenos Aires. First thing she did upon purchasing a guide book was to locate a sushi restaurant there. I imagine you'll struggle to do the same in Japan.
